Jiang Zhexian and three young ladies from prominent families appeared and began to criticize Xiao Tian.
Chu Feng and Zhou Quan wanted to laugh, but they couldn't.
" Brother Tian, good luck to you." Chu Feng had no scruples whatsoever, and went straight over to get away from Xiao Tian.
" Brother Tian, you know what I mean, I'm still hungry." Zhou Quan walked over.
"That's right. Although Xiao Tian is the lord of a city, his character is flawed. I'm truly worried about the people of Luo Cheng, especially the beautiful women there."
Xiao Tian was speechless. How had Jiang Zhexian become so detestable? Even if he was a scumbag, there was no need to slander him like this, was there?
"This banquet is quite interesting."
"The lord of a city? My husband is also a city lord, so what is that! Xiao Tian, right? I advise you not to attend the banquet and to go back. This is not a place for you." The elegant and beautiful woman beside Jiang Zhexian said with icy eyes.
"You're not welcome at this banquet!"
Xiao Tian Xiao and said, "Women, first of all, the banquet was invited to Overlord. Secondly, you haven't even figured out the truth before you slander someone. Do you really think that what Jiang Zhexian said is necessarily true? Just because she is a high-ranking member of the Bodhi Group? Is she at the Peak Shackle Realm? Has she ever fought against a top-tier Beast King? What contributions has she made to humanity so far?"
"I, Xiao Tian! Even if I'm a scumbag! I've fought the Golden-Winged Great Peng King! Laozi 'm only one step away from the Laozi Carefree Realm! Are humans living too comfortably? Maybe Laozi should just switch sides and help the beast race."
Upon hearing this, the women present frowned deeply.
"You've fought the Golden-Winged Great Peng King? What a joke! What are you bragging about! What is Miss Jiang's status? What is your status? You're just the city lord of Luo Cheng! There are plenty of people invited by the Overlord, even the head constables of the city's government offices are among those invited. Who do you think you are!" The noblewoman who had just arrived couldn't help but mock.
Chu Feng and Zhou Quan frowned; they now felt that this had gone too far.
"How dare you run wild in the Golden Palace! Silence!" A cold, noble female voice rang out.
Several silver-armored warriors followed a beautiful woman dressed in a black dress, exuding elegance and grace.
"Miss Duanmu!"
The women's expressions changed; the Daughter of the Overlord had arrived.
Duanmu Yunyan's beautiful eyes swept over the women present, finally settling on Jiang Zhexian. Her tone was icy as she said, " Jiang Zhexian, I don't care what personal grudges you have with City Lord Xiao, but City Lord Xiao has made enormous contributions to humanity and is one of humanity's top experts. As the heir to the Bodhi Group, you should be aware of the situation! Besides, wanton slander is utterly ridiculous!"
Jiang Zhexian's face was unpleasant, but after being scolded by Duanmu Yunyan, he immediately calmed down.
She gradually regretted that she hadn't even figured out whether what Zhou Quan said was true, and that she had already harbored evil thoughts simply because Yun Shang and Xiao Tian were a couple.
" City Lord Xiao, please go inside first. The Overlord is waiting for you. I will handle things here."
"Hmm." Xiao Tian glanced at Duanmu Yunyan. This girl has a good physique. If there are no major disasters in the future, she may be able to break through the Milky Way.
Duanmu Yunyan, observing Xiao Heavenly Eye, believed that her own beauty was no less than Jiang Zhexian's. However, being a bit older, she possessed a more refined and elegant demeanor. Over the years, she had witnessed the expressions and mannerisms of countless people in various settings.
" Jiang Zhexian, this matter started because of you, you'd better go and handle it."
"Yes, Miss Duanmu." Jiang Zhexian understood that if she continued to cause trouble, it would be detrimental to human unity.
Human Clan currently has an extreme need for top-tier combat power, and a powerful figure like Xiao Tian, who can fight the Golden-Winged Great Peng King without being at a disadvantage and even has the upper hand, is a treasure for humanity.
She smiled bitterly to herself, wondering how she could have been so foolish.
"Um, Goddess Jiang, I'm so sorry, here's your money back." Zhou Quan handed the bank card to Jiang Zhexian with a guilty expression.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhexian frowned.
"I'm sorry, we were just joking around before. Brother Tian and Fairy Yun Shang are just ordinary disciples. We didn't expect you to take this prank so seriously. I apologize, I will handle the follow-up issues." Chu Feng's eyes were meaningful.
"You guys are playing a prank? Really?" Jiang Zhexian was both annoyed and pleasantly surprised.
"Really, Goddess Jiang, please stop acting up. We're really afraid Brother Tian will go crazy," Zhou Quan said with a wry smile.
Jiang Zhexian. Xiao Tian's two friends were truly something else.
This really got her into serious trouble.
Jiang Zhexian left to deal with the slander.
"Hey, what's Fengzi with this girl? How can she be so straightforward? Tsk tsk..."
Chu Feng chuckled softly, "Her emotions were amplified, and she lost control of her behavior somewhat. I'm sure Xiao Tian noticed that too."
"Huh? What? What does that mean?"
Chu Feng turned his head, looked into the darkness, chuckled, and transmitted his voice to Zhou Quan, saying, " Jiang Zhexian has been tricked. Our conversation was overheard by someone with ulterior motives. Someone is targeting the Bodhi Jiang Family."
"No way? That's vicious!"
Zhou Quan thought to himself, if Miss Duanmu didn't come out, and the women at the banquet kept calling Xiao Tian a scumbag, wouldn't the banquet turn into a bloody Asura?
Or perhaps Jiang Zhexian was killed by the enraged Xiao Tian, Bodhi Group issued a kill order against Xiao Tian, and then...
"My goodness! That's so insidious!"
At this moment, Xiao Tian met Overlord Overlord again, with three Peak Shackle Realm experts beside him.
" City Lord Xiao, let me introduce you. This is Helian Huo, the Vice Palace Master of the Jade Void Palace; this is Xue Qian Sha, the Vice Palace Master of the Biyou Palace; and this is Chen Fan, the Vice Palace Master of the Eight Sceneries Palace."
Xiao Tian sized up the three of them, lingering on Chen Fan for a few seconds. "That name has a protagonist's aura, it's a pity it's on a minor character."
"Greetings, gentlemen. I am Xiao Tian, the city lord of Luo Cheng."
Biyou Palace's Deputy Palace Master Xue Qian Sha, said with a sinister smile, " City Lord Xiao, I've heard about you many times from Luo Xue. Meeting you this time, you truly are extraordinary. Have you considered Biyou Palace?"
"Hmph! Xue Qian Sha, what nonsense are you spouting? Lord City Lord Xiao is a member of my Jade Void Palace."
"What a joke! Wasn't Perfected Xuantian labeled a traitor by your Jade Void Palace?"
Seeing the two deputy palace masters arguing, the Overlord couldn't help but smile and said to Xiao Tian, " City Lord Xiao, I still don't know if your other master is Perfected Xuantian Jade Void Palace."
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly, but shook his head outwardly, saying, "To be honest, I don't know either. My master should still be under that tomb in Luo Cheng. As for his identity, you'll have to investigate it yourselves."
"Exactly! Her identity hasn't even been confirmed yet, what are you getting so worked up about, Xue!"
Biyou Palace's Deputy Palace Master, Xue Qian Sha, sneered, " Helian Huo, you're the one who's most excited, aren't you?"
"Your Excellencies, please calm your anger for now; the banquet is about to begin."
"What the Overlord said is true. There will be some small performances later. I wonder if City Lord Xiao will participate."
"A little show?" Xiao Tian asked in surprise.
The Overlord smiled and said, "Yes, there will be a little program later. I'll keep you in suspense for now; I'm sure City Lord Xiao will find it interesting."
"I'm really looking forward to it." Xiao Tian, however, didn't feel particularly excited.
"You guys go ahead, I need to change my clothes."
" My Overlord, how many sets of clothes do you have? Make us a few sometime!"
"Haha, no problem, no problem."
After Xiao Tian and the three vice palace masters left, a black-armored warrior mysteriously appeared.
" My Overlord, the situation is resolved..."
The Overlord nodded.
" Yan'er handled things very efficiently. Since it was just a joke by those two brothers, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. But that guy named Chu Feng is quite interesting. He's a powerful young man with a clean but mysterious background."
Xiao Tian entered the main hall banquet hall and saw Chu Feng and Zhou Quan chatting happily with a middle-aged man in blue robes. He greeted the three palace masters and then hurried over.
" Brother Tian, you're here! Let me introduce you. This is our new friend, Nangong Yin, the general manager of Ancient God Biological Gene Group."
"Hello, Mr. Nangong." Xiao Tian felt that this form of address was a little strange.
However, this Nangong Yin is quite interesting. He glanced at Chu Feng out of the corner of his eye, and Chu Feng nodded to him quietly.
Xiao Tian understood the situation.
"So it's City Lord Xiao!" Nangong Yin was somewhat excited. He had the privilege of watching the video of Xiao Tian's battle with the Golden-Winged Great Peng King, and it was terrifying and powerful.
" City Lord Xiao, you're my idol! Can I get your autograph?!"
"Wow, I actually have fans now! Autographs? Great, but I don't have a pen."
Nangong Yin said excitedly, "I'll go get it right away. City Lord Xiao, please sit down and have something to eat. I'll be right there."
After Nangong Yin left, Chu Feng chuckled softly, "Found it, what should we do?"
"Things have already come to this. Although I was disgusted by it, and it was from one of my fans, sigh, this puts me in a difficult position. Maybe I should secretly beat him up."
"Alright, Fatty, you go and fight it then."
Zhou Quan was completely confused and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, then forget it." Xiao Tian said speechlessly.
Chu Feng said he was drunk.
Soon, Nangong Yin returned.
Xiao Tian readily signed his autograph for Nangong Yin Nangong Yin, which thrilled her so much that she immediately took out her phone to take a selfie.
"Young man, would you like to take a photo together?"
Nangong Yin was even more excited. This was a powerful being capable of beating the Golden-Winged Great Peng King! This was humanity's savior!
"May I?"
"Sure, it's not like I'll lose a single piece of flesh."
"Idol! That's amazing!"
Overjoyed to have the group photo, Nangong Yin immediately posted it on her WeChat Moments.
In no time, his friends who had attended the banquet arrived one after another.
" City Lord Xiao! Can I get your autograph and take a photo with you? You're my idol!"
Seeing the fans' Divine Flame, including some female fans, Xiao Tian chuckled and readily agreed.
He always tries to fulfill his fans' requests.
Nangong Yin was extremely excited and drank a lot more. Afterwards, she drunkenly went to find a restroom outside the Golden Palace.
Then he was beaten up by Zhou Quan, who was secretly following him. Of course, he wasn't slapped in the face, but he suffered internal injuries.
Nangong Yin was the one who secretly placed an emotional curse on Jiang Zhexian, which Chu Feng discovered through unorthodox means.
